FRANK YOUNG AND WILLIAM RAUK,

PATENT OFFICE.

OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNORS TO KAHN & LEVY, OF SAME PLACE' EMBOSSlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 569,145, dated October 6, 1896.

Application filed April 15, 1896. Serial No. 587,741. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, FRANK YOUNG and \VILLIAM RAUK, citizens of the United States, and residents of New York, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Embossing-Machine, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to embossing-machines, and has for its object the provision of an organization simple in construction, inexpensive in manufacture, and efficient and rapid in practical use.

To attain the desired end, our invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and operation of parts herein set forth.

In the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of our machine, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same, and Figs. 3 and 4 are views of our gas-cock in detail.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in the views.

Referring particularly to the drawings, A denotes the bed-plate, and A an elevated arm of the frame of our machine. In the end of the arm A works a vertical plunger B, to the free end of which is secured any suitable die or impression device I), the other end being attached in a movable relation to the lever C, fulcrumed on the arm A and connected by rod with the treadle G The bed-plate A is provided with slots a, in which works a pin secured to the reciprocating carriage or plate D, which terminates in a raised surface or platen d, upon which the article to be embossed is placed. The carriage D is provided with slides al which work in corresponding guide-grooves a of the bed-plate A. The carriage D is normally held in an outward position by means of spring d the ends of which are respectively secured to the carriage D and bed-plate A. To the bed-plate is secured a gas-cock E, which may be supplied with gas through a pipe e, communicating with the same. A pipe E, attached to the rotary sleeve E of the gas-cock E, terminates in a nozzle 6, located within a perforated chamber E whereby air is allowed to enter and become mixed with the gas. To the chamber E is fas- 50 tened a pipe e which terminates in a burner E consisting of a distributing-chamber providedwith holes. 7

The gas-cock E is so arranged that when the burner E is in the position shown in the drawings the gas will be turned on to its full 5 5 capacity, but when the same is moved away from beneath the plunger B the supply of gas will be partially or almost entirely checked.

A spring F is respectively attached to an arm projecting from the sleeve E of the gascock and to the bed-plate A and serves to hold the burner E beneath the plunger B when the carriage D is in an outward position, and upon the said carriage being manually pushed inwardly it engages the pin 6 of the pipe e and rapidly throws it out of the way of the approaching carriage on account of the short leverage used.

The carriage D is provided with side lugs d", which may, if desired, be directly engaged by an article, as a hat, the lining of which'is desired to be stamped or embossed.

, On account of the carriage D being returned to its outward or normal position by its spring much time is saved and more rapid work can be accomplished, as during that time another article can be picked up and got ready to be placed on said carriage.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is 1. The combinatiomwith a-vertical plunger and operating-lever, of an independent pivoted spring-controlled gas-burner normallystationed under the same, and of a reciproeating carriage constructed and arranged to 85 be manually pushed inward and normally thrown out by a spring, and provided with means to engage the said gas-burner, whereby the spring controlled gas-burner may be pushed to one side of the plunger-support, 0 when the carriage is in an inward position.

2. The combination, with a vertical plunger and operating-lever, of a spring-controlled gas-burner normally located under the same and provided with an automatic gas-cock con- 5 trolled by the movement of the burner, and of a reciprocating carriage constructed and arranged to be manually pushed inward and normally thrown out bya spring, whereby the spring-controlled gas-burner may be pushed "r00 the gas-burner may alternately bebrought under the die.

In testimony of the foregoing specification we do hereby sign the same, in the city of New York, county of New York, and State of New York, this 4th day of March, A. D. 1896.
